Is there a way to delete a printer port type in the
registry so that it doesn't appear as an available port
type when creating a new port?
 
In the registry browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors where you
will see a list of keys, one for each monitor. If you delete the key for the
monitor you don't need then it won't appear in the list and any ports
defined for it will disappear. You will need to restart the spooler service
after doing this.
